It was early December, and the past month had been especially bad for high winds. Over the past week, we had lost power a number of times due to downed trees over power lines. The wind storms just kept coming one after the other!

Once, while I was tucking my son into bed, I decided to pause and spend some time talking with him. He was 3 years old at the time. I started with a typical question, that always provided interesting content.

I’ve been processing through the morning my father-in-law lost his battle with lung cancer. That morning will forever be solidified in my mind. It was my first real, close-to-home experience with grief, and I was not prepared for how debilitating it would be.

As someone who has received plenty of rebuke in life, well-deserved I might add; I have come to realize the difference between certain types of rebuke, all stemming from motive. The power and traction of a rebuke are primarily centred on the motive of the person issuing it. The process in which a rebuke takes place, and the words used, will all flow out of that motive.

There’s a lot of pain in this world. We all experience it, and conflict is a big part of it. Thankfully, for those of us who have given our lives to Christ, we’re not alone. He is walking with us through every season, through all the pain, through every conflict, writing us into His unique Gospel story.

We can persevere through those unhealthy and unhelpful thoughts and feelings, moving into a place of deeper belonging. We can make a choice to rest in God’s love, poured out through Jesus, who becomes our source of value and identity. And in Him, we receive a maturity that we might not otherwise have known.
